TAMPA, Fla. – Doctors from BluePearl Veterinary Partners specialty and emergency hospital in Tampa said Monday that Hope, the badly burned dog, is doing well with her healing and recovery.

Doctors from BluePearl gave Hope an antiseptic wash Monday afternoon, which helped with the removal of dead skin and bad tissue. She was also given her sixth laser therapy treatment and remains in BluePearl’s intensive care unit.
